The Wheatkings newest weapon is a Latvia import who can generate offense and chances with slick stickhandling at a high pace. Has good jump and a fearlessness to his attack. Although under five-ten, he carries thickness and strength and goes into the battle areas to win pucks and score. Has a nice release, and good wrist shot, and slick moves when bearing down of defenders with the puck. Long term prospect who is still learning the nuances of playing defense and the North American size rinks.
